What is MLAT in this case? The planes transmit their location in the ADS-B message. They are filtering a lot of redundant message receptions from multiple receivers. I would assume the messages also include altitude and heading information, so locations can be predicted between message receptions.
- sorenjan 4y agoMLAT is multilateration, where they use the difference in time of arrival to multiple receivers with known locations to estimate the positions of planes that doesn't transmit their location using ADS-B but only use older Mode S. This is mostly small or military planes. https://flightaware.com/adsb/mlat/ https://flightaware.com/adsb/mlat/
